I’ll start with an excerpt from last week’s blog…
“…the ‘sick kid who needs her medicine’ storyline is going to get really old really quickly.”
Did anyone else cheer when C-Note finally turned himself in? I was still trying to figure out why that sketchy doctor was going to put a catheter in the kid’s neck when they could have done that at “the dialysis clinic a few blocks away.” C-Note did the right thing and got her out of there. As he was sitting in the alley, I was thinking about how much he’s f’ed up his family’s life. His wife is in prison and his kid is about to die – it was definitely time to hang ‘em up. Now he’s promised Mahone that he’ll deliver Scofield, a storyline that has some potential. (Finally!)
Another excerpt…
“Meanwhile, T-Bag must be losing his mind, because he’s a millionaire yet he continues to try to force three people to love him. It ain’t going to happen, dude.”
Hooray! Another bad storyline has run its course! We got a glimpse into T-Bag’s past – no surprise there, his daddy was a molester, too – and after yet another switcheroo (cops opening up the cellar), it turns out that Teddy isn’t such a bad guy after all. Presumably, he’s still got the millions, so his thread has some potential as well.
Things are looking up.
It was great to see Pope again, even if it was for just one episode. After he retrieved the memory chip, Sarah exacted some revenge on Agent Eisen by locking him out of the car. (By the way, I love those old Jeep Wagoneers with the wood trim.) It was also nice to see Michael run over Mr. Kim, though it would have been nice if he had run over him a few more times. On a side note, Mr. Kim got to Chicago REALLY fast.
Sometimes television shows get caught up in trying to develop enough storyline for another season instead of just making the current season as good as possible and ending the series there. “Prison Break” has that feeling this year – they should just pull out all the stops to wrap it up well, but they’ll probably end up shoehorning in some contrived situations to try to transition into a third season.
Anyway, it looks like next week we’ll finally get to hear the evidence that will exonerate Lincoln. There were also a few shots of Agent Eisen running around with a sniper’s rifle.
This should be interesting.
